Security Authorization Levels

This appendix contains tables that show the required Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) authorization levels for access method services commands. These tables include information for both non-SMS and SMS-managed data sets.

If no RACF profile exists for a data set, you are authorized to access that data set without further RACF checking. The catalog RACF profile is not checked, even if it exists.

The following tables are contained in this appendix:
